I find the thought of dead babies in Africa tends to put me off my confectionary.

  Nope, not doing it for me.

  You got an upvote from me simply for knowing about it but perhaps you want to provide more references to Nestles baby formula history etc Start here : http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nestlé_boycott http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nestlé_boycott

    Doesn't matter in the US. As Kitkat sold in the US is made by Hershey. http://www.hersheys.com/kitkat.aspx http://www.hersheys.com/kitkat.aspx

      Which presumably means it's covered with the same disgusting fake chocolate that the rest of Hershey products are made with, which means it's not really a KitKat...

        Everyone outside the US says that, and I agree that nice European chocolate is notably different than Hershey's chocolate, but I've had both American and European KitKats and they taste identical.

      ...licensing the KitKat brand from Nestle. Moral quandary remains.
  • mmanfrin 13y ago
    For what it's worth, KitKats in the US are made by Hersheys (admittedly which have their own moral issues, i.e. the 'intern' business).

    Irrespective of boycotts, please please buy chocolate products that have independent certification from a third party (UTZ Certified, Fair Trade, Rainforest Alliance). Certification isn't perfect, and different labels focus on different things (though most cover child labor, environment, fair working conditions), but they give a signal to the corporations that you are expecting more than just sugar at the lowest price. Some Nestle products in some markets have third-party certification. If you want to buy Nestle, buy those.
